I don't have a grand use case in mind. I was mostly thinking for discoverability, so if an entity has a ShEx description, make it easy to find. This would help to make it easy to see if an entity needs a ShEx defined for it, or to quickly see if an entity conforms to the ShExes that might apply to it.
I admit that I'm still trying to understand exactly how ShEx is intended to fit into Wikidata and what, if anything, it's hoped that wikidata users should be doing with ShEx right now, but this seemed like something where wikibase could be extended a bit to make the ShEx parts easier to use. -Erik On Sun, Feb 9, 2020 at 4:27 PM Thad Guidry <[email protected]> wrote: > Curious Erik, > > Can you explain the problem that you are trying to solve? > Like what would you do with those links or relationships for classes > represented as Shex? > > Thad > https://www.linkedin.com/in/thadguidry/ > > > On Sun, Feb 9, 2020 at 4:09 PM Erik Paulson <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hello - >> >> There's a list of the ShEx expressions created thus far: >> https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:AllPages?from=&to=&namespace=640 >> >> Is there any hope that wikibase could link direct to specific shex, so if >> there is a shex for an item being used as a class, or if a wikibase item is >> an instanceOf one of those classes, wikibase could link straight to the >> shex? >> >> Similarly, if there's an item that is being used as a class, could there >> be an automatic link that shows instances of that class?
